Just for interest, when I retired from racing four years ago, I decided I
didn't need extra blocks, cranks, and heads.
Could not find anybody in my local Triumph club that was interested in
anything. They had rather order from a
catalogue. I loaded up my truck with 1850 lbs of metal parts and made a
haul to the scrap yard. Still have lots of
small stuff but that will soon be going somewhere soon. Am soon going to
finish my last project car. Putting my
racing Warwick GT back as a street car. Have not decided what to do with
the TR4 race car yet. Might put that back
as a street runner.
